To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.

Many great actions are committed in small struggles.

Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.

Great minds discuss ideas average minds discuss events small minds discuss people.

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
